HIGH-YIELDING RENTALS IN NORTHERN CALIFORNIA!  It’s the HOLY GRAIL… the pixie dust…  the flawless diamond of cash-flow investing:  To own rental property with a STRONG cash flow in a SUPER-HOT MARKET that you can buy at a FAIR PRICE.  My friends… I’ve got it for you, right now, in the HOTTEST of hot markets in America.  I’m Bryan Ellis.  This is episode 166.-----Hello SDI Nation!  Welcome to the Podcast of Record for savvy self-directed investors like you.It was a great weekend this past weekend in Sacramento where I had the pleasure of meeting with investors in the SDI Private Equity fund.  That’s a great group of people and the real estate opportunities we have those folks involved in are… well… shall I say… QUITE IMPRESSIVE?  HeheheheIt was such a pleasure to meet all of our new clients along with many of you guys who are involved in other projects with us and chose to move forward on our Northern California investment adventures as well.  These are exciting times, folks!And I’d like to say to Karim – your next excursion to Walgreen’s is on me, man.  Carole and I are still just LOVING that your secret passion is visiting big-chain drug stores!  But we’re very happy to have you as a part of the SDI Private Equity family… and same for all of your who are part of our crew!Speaking of Northern California a moment ago… did you know that’s the hottest real estate region in the entire country… maybe the entire world?  The latest list of hot markets from Realtor.com shows Northern California as being home to 9 of the 20 hottest individual markets in America.  It’s just astounding.What makes for a hot market?  Well, it’s things like… rapid price appreciation, short supply, and bidding wars.  I recently saw that there’s only 1.5 months of housing supply in San Francisco.  That’s CRAZY – a normal supply level is 6 months, so San Francisco is INCREDIBLY low on inventory, as is the Bay Area and Silicon Valley as a whole.But it’s not just those vaunted areas… Northern California as a whole is experiencing some astounding things… and frankly, it’s all driven by tech companies and venture capital flowing into the Bay Area and Silicon Valley.And that, my friends, is where today’s astounding opportunity comes from.So here’s the deal:The SDI team has identified a source for CASH FLOWING RENTAL PROPERTY that can be bought very affordably… and it’s right in the heart of Northern California… commuting distance from Sacramento, Napa, Modesto and yes… even with commuting distance of the outskirts of the Bay Area.So here’s are 3 quick examples that will make you DROOL:Example 1 is a single family property.  Worth $100,000 CONSERVATIVELY… and frankly… I don’t believe that valuation.  I think it’s much, much, much higher.  Anyway, worth $100,000 – you can buy it for $90,000 – renovated and fully rent-ready.  Rent on this one is $800 per month… you’ll likely be NETTING over 7% just from cash flow on this one.Example 2 is a duplex.  You’ll collect $1,000 from each unit.  That’s $24,000 per year gross.  This property is EASILY worth $200,000.  You’ll pay $180,000 for it… you could realistically net as much as 10% per year on this one from CASH FLOW alone.But remember – this is in a highly appreciating area.  More on that in just a minute.Final example #3 is a triplex.  You’ll collect $2,100 per month from this property, and it’s easily worth $230,000.  You’ll pay only $200,000… and again, could net nearly 10% per year from cash flow alone.Folks, those are great numbers no matter where your property is located… but as you know, there’s a dichotomy that exists where single-family rental property is concerned:  There are deals that offer good cash flow, and then there are deals that offer solid appreciation potential.  It’s rare – almost unheard of – to get access to deals that offer both.This is just such a circumstance, my friends.You see, Zillow tells us that this area of Northern California appreciated at 12% in the past year… and they’re projecting an
